The history
OSCAR's story began 20 years ago, in a very dynamic market, with plenty of competition, but at the same time, with a great potential for development.
- In 2004, for the first time in Romania, OSCAR introduced the concept of in-house fueling stations, under the DIESELpoint brand. An integrated concept of services and products that offers a fast fuel supply, control of fuel consumption and the maintenance of the in-house filling station to each partner company.
- In 2007, we purchased our first tanker, planing to develop an integrated supply chain that will ensure an optimal national coverage and complete control of the delivery times and fuel quality.
- In 2010, we opened the first company exclusive fuel station, under the DIESELpoint Access brand - a concept designed as a complement of the in-house filling stations, thus providing access to a national network.
- In 2016, we set eyes on the fuel retail, with our own gas station network brand and superior fuel. This is how the franchise network came to life– under the “RO, concept OSCAR” brand - as a complement to the B2B network, with specific services and products for the driver, his car and his road partners.
- In 2017, the first RO gas station was opened, now reaching 49 franchise stations and a total of 80 fuel stations in the OSCAR network. All 80 stations benefit from the integrated OSCAR supply chain and the support provided by the OSCAR team.
Today, we have reached our 20-year anniversary, and we're looking forward to our futuree with confidence and sustainable development plans.
